(a) If, within twelve months after the first of the three nuisances referred to in Section 535.02 has occurred, a fourth nuisance activity as declared in this Chapter occurs, the City may abate the nuisance by responding to the activity using administrative and law enforcement actions, and the costs of such abatement shall be assessed on the public nuisance property in the same manner as in Ohio R.C. 715.261, and the costs shall be calculated as set forth in subsection (d) of this section.
(b) The City shall provide notice to the owner of the public nuisance hotel or motel property of the City's intent to assess the costs of abatement against the owner's property at least 30 days before such costs are certified to the County for assessment against the property, and such notice shall contain a description of the nuisance activity that is the basis for the notice of intent to assess the property, and the cost to abate.
(c) Notice shall be served as set forth in the above Section.
(d) Costs of abatement shall be assessed based upon the hourly wage of the police officer or officers involved in the abatement of the nuisance activity, plus 75%, multiplied by the number of hours required to abate the nuisance.
(e) Nuisance Abatement Plan. The owner of a public nuisance hotel or motel property may avoid being charged the cost of abating future nuisances if the owner meets with the Chief of Police; presents a plan to prevent further nuisance activity and that plan is approved by the Chief of Police; and the owner implements the plan.
